    If you’re getting the work done for both jobs, what’s the problem? If they want to double your workload, they can pay you double.

      I can think of several: Inevitable shifts in demand during work hours for most jobs, having stress in one job affect the other, eliminating jobs and helping lower the average wage on the market through false premises, or on the other hand, contributing to needless bureaucracy and a needless money sink leech in your company that really shouldn’t exist. I mean, if you are only thinking of yourself or you really 🙄 have no choice, I suppose there’s no problem.

      If I have to wait for you to do something to do part of my job, and the reason I have to wait is you have another job, then that’s a problem. The vast majority of salaried jobs involve collaboration.

        This argument is dumb. End of the day people are free to do as they like. So are employers. If both parties are satisfied with the work getting done then end of story.

          Are you serious? I’m talking about an Employer that isn’t ok with it.

            Then there is normal recourse. Derr.

            But you would rather the employers have some sort of special rights, huh?
